My troublesome boys | An Eddie Munson & Steve Harrington Fanfic

Hang over | ch 8

I have never felt more depressed in my life.

Usually when I do, I always have Eddie and Steve to cheer me up. But they're the reason why I'm sad.

I'm so stupid. I blame every little bit on me. But what would you do in my position.

Not only that but who do I like more? Eddie or Steve.

I grip my head because I was stressing too much. I need water. I make my way to my fridge and pour myself a glass. Inside the fridge I saw the pancakes we had made yesterday. I smiled gently as tears ran down my face.

Today was school so I had to get myself together.

Today was different. We didn't meet at the corner. We didn't talk about stupid things or see the tree we carved our names in. Our parents were not speaking about the situation and I was thankful for that. I walked to the corner we met up at and no one was there. Not even the cross way lady.

I fixed my posture and walked the rest of the way to school.

Once entering the school grounds I smelt the smell of kids and wanted to leave. I kept my head down when walking and bumped into a boy.

"Oh I'm so sorry-" I looked up to see Dustin smiling his cutest smile at me. "Oh hello Dustin." I smiled back.

"Hello y/n. Have you seen Eddie?" He asked. I looked at my feet and answered 'no.' I could tell he knew something was up but left it. "What about Steve?" I really wanted to change the conversation.

"Nope." I answered popping the 'p'. I shook his hair and left. I caught up with Lilly and Barbra. Turns out Barbra left Nancy after seeing what she had done to me. I was at least thankful for that.

As we walked the halls I saw Steve walk by. We made eye contact for a second before he walked off in a hurry.

"What's your with you and Steve?" Lilly asked. "You guys seemed cozy in the library the other day." Lilly mentioned as well.

"I don't want to talk about it." I answered after some time.

Barbra looked confused but they shook it off. "Uh I'm going to go the bathroom. You guys go ahead without me." I then turned on my heel to the bathrooms.

When trying to reach the females I bumped into someone again. My eyes only looked up to see Eddie. He looked annoyed.

"Eddie please listen to me. Let me explain." I pleaded immediately. Probably not the best way to but here goes nothing. "Explain what? That you also like my best friend?" He crossed his arms and took a step back.

"I-" he cut me off short. "You know what. Never mind." He walked off meaning to bump shoulders with me. Then fine. Play that game.

The school sat in the cafeteria. Obviously eating.

I kept looking over at Eddie and Steve and caught them staring a couple times. I hated this.

"Oh hey y/n." A familiar voice came up to me. I turned around in my seat to see Jason standing there with his goons.

"Hello?" I questioned. I looked at his friends uncomfortably. "I just wanted you to know I broke up with Chrissy." He leaned on the table. How does this have anything to do with me.

Both eddie and Steve were looking at Jason in hatred so I put matters into my own hands. "Oh really?" I flirted back. I put my head on top of his.

He smiled sweetly and interlocked hands with mine. Gross.

"Do you maybe sometime want to go out?" He asked 'Cooly'. I looked at the two boys sneakily and they looked mad. Red. But also curious. Curious to know what I would say.

"Uh no. Never in a million years." I shoved his hand away and turned back to my food. "Go back to your girlfriend Jason." I said before getting up to chuck my tray away. The boys looked stunned.

Hah.

Since Eddie won't talk to me maybe Steve will.

"Steve." I approached his table. I could see he was eating chips but this time I didn't take them. "Can we talk?" I asked nervously.

He stared at me before getting up. Yes!

"Look-"

We were now in the empty hallways, he's eyes looking deeply into mine.

"I like you a lot. But as a best friend. And I don't want our whole 17 years to end because of a dumb kiss." I started. I finally made my decision. Eddie was the one for me.

He nodded. "Just a dumb kiss? I like you y/n a lot. And not just as a friend and you used that to your advantage." He leaned against the wall next to me.

"But I can get over that. Do you like Eddie?" He asked. He was staring at the wall ahead of him. I sighed.

"Ever since this year was when I really thought about this feeling I have for the both of you. But I have decided on Eddie. Although for the past 3 years I did have a massive crush on you." I smiled as I looked at him.

"So your implying you like both of us and can't decide?" He asked. He turned to look at me as well. "Yeah basically. I don't want our friendship to die because of a relationship anyways. I may as well stay single for the rest of my life." I dramatically put a hand on my forehead and he laughed.

I hugged him tight. We never lasted a day with an argument. "Love you Steve." I said, my head in his shoulder. "I love you too y/n. As a best friend." He grabbed my shoulders and looked at me like a proud mum.

"As best friends." I whispered and smiled.

"Have you spoken to Eddie?" He asked while we walked slowly back to the canteen. "He won't let me." I answered sadly. "Try now." He ushered me to go.

So I did. I walked up to Eddie and asked to talk to him.
